Practically the same method is used for
Matching various other kinds of fish.
The current work of the commission IN
Matching young fish at the different sta
tions shows gratifying results. At Wash
ington 100000 white fish eggs were
Matched last week, the fry to be sent to
Lake Erie. At Nashville and at Alpena,
Mich, 125 900, 900 white fish eggs were col
lected during the fall, of which 25,000,000
have been distributed to the State Com
missioners for Matching and planting and
100, O0,000 have been reserved to be Matched
at the Worthwhile station, the fry to be
placed in the ocean and the great lakes.
The station at Woods Hall has been
actively engaged IN collecting, Matching
and distributing the eggs Of Goldfish, of
which rs, 10000 have been Matched and
planted in Vineyard Sound and other adj
jacent waters. 1t is probable that the
total production of the season will exceed
100,0O00O0 Goldfish when eggs are OBJ
tanned from the Ipswich Bay school At
Wytheville, Va, the collecting of Cali
fornia trout eggs IS in full progress, over
100, 900 eggs having been obtained, of which
fifty per cent. will be distributed in lots of
5000 and 10000 to the different State COM
missions the balance to be Matched and
reared at the station, and distributed as
yearling fish to the streams of the Appal-
achian region in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee.
Another interesting feature of the work
of the commission, and one which is, per-
haps, more familiar to the general reader
is the method used for distributing fish.
Previous to 1880 the Fish Commission sent
its fish in large milk cans, all over the
country, in baggage cars, in special
charge of messengers" who changed the
water en- route as often as necessary and
otherwise cared for the young fish. This
method of transportation was attended
with great difficulty and often great loss
in the mortality of the young fish, from
the exposure to the heat or cold of the
baggage car and the change of the water
in different localities. Since that time
however, the commission has had built for
its use cars especially adapted to the uses
of transportation. These cars are so con-
structed that sufficient water can be car
ried, for the entire shipment, often cover
ing several days. By a process of aeration

the water is used again and again to re-
plenish the water taken from the recep-
tacles in which the fish are carried. These
vessels are simply tin buckets with per-
forated covers, holding perhaps a quart of
water, and are placed underneath the
floor of the car. About one hundred cans
are usually carried, the number of fish of
course varying according to the size.
Over 1900, 900 white fish were recently
transported in one shipment to Oregon and
Washington Territory with loss of only
five hundred. These cars are provided
with comfortable berths for the messen.

HOW TO TRAIN COLTS.
Good Results Dependent on Careful
Study of Their Peculiarites.

Good Results Dependent on a Careful
Study of Their Peculiarities.
Colts, like men, are very far from
being alike, mentally. Many are
ready to say that they do not favor the
plan of handling colts at an early age,
the object being to render their after
training easier. They say a pet colt
never makes good horse, because he
never shows any life and vim. We
grant that there are colts of an INDECENT,
go-easy temperament. that, like some
men, have hardly spirit enough to be
susceptible of excitement, hence when
they grow up, can be quite generally
depended upon as not liable to kick
over the traces, or run away. We
have known colts that were bred al
most identically alike in blood, as close
of kin as they could be without being
by one sire, and having the same dam,
that were unlike, mentally. One was
always safe in harness, under the usual
surroundings, while the other was al
ways on the lookout for something to
sartle him, and ready to spring this
way OF that, to escape some imaginary
danger, to all of which his mate would
be totally Indifferent. Now, to say, in
broad terms, that a timid, excitable
colt should not be cured of this ten
dency, SO far as it is possible to do this
by taking him IN hand early in his life,
80, l. fo1-
The notion that the tanning of high
spirited colt in early life takes away
lis spirit and energy,is a mistaken
notion. Life and energy are qualities
that are bred into the colt, as much so
as are an upright, enduring hoof, fat
limb, or speed and bottom, and, with
proper management, are as likely to
stay with him through life, when not
driven out by starvation or excessive
labor. It is true that some horses are
quite safe in harness, though having
had their liberty, in pasture and other
wise, till ready for service, so long as
every thing goes smoothly, but when
overtaken by some new sight or sound,
the brief training they have had gives
no sufficient guarantee against acct
dent. As rule, long-continued famil-
iarity with the voice of the master, and
the word of encouragement or COM
mand, as occasion may require,
are the only safeguards. There are
peculiarities of disposition that "run
in families y This is as true of horses
as of men, and the owner that does not
act upon this fact in handling his
horse stock denies himself one of the
best of agencies in removing defects,
supplanting them by qualities that he
may desire. When a farmer or breeder
discovers that he has in his posseSion
colt of timid and excitable temper
permanent, he viii not be wise if he
does not place him under such course
of treatment as will disabuse the mind
of the colt of a wrong impression. For
it is nothing but an error, and one
which, in nine cases out of ten, can be
eradicated by subjecting the colt to
the things he seems to have an especial
aversion for. This should not, by any
means, be attempted by the use of the
lash. or accompanied by harsh word,
but by the charms that go with a
steady, firm hand an | an inspiring

The commission has thus established
Matching stations in various States of the
country. These are known as collecting
and distributing stations. The former are
located near the spawning grounds of
those species for which they are especially
intended. The eggs are received at these
stations, and, enough having been re-
served to stock the waters of that region,
the remainder are sent to distributing
stations usually located at some central
point, to be hasched and shipped to the
waters for which they are intended The
following stations have thus far been
established: Grand Lake Stream, Maine;
Bucksport, Maine; Woods Hole, Mass.
permanent coast-station, which serves as
a base of operations for the scientific in
vestigations of the commission as hatch
ing station for eggs of the codfsh); Cold
Spring Harbor, Long Island, N. Y; Havre
de Grace, Md; Washington, d. G. (here
is situated the central Matching station,
fully equipped for scientific experiments
connected with the propagation of fishes;
1t is also the principal distributing station
of the Fish Commission for both eggs and
young fish to all portions of the United
States); Wytheville. Va. Saint Jerome's
Creek, Point Lookout, Md; Avoca, N. c.;
Worthwhile, Mich; Alpena, Mich; Baird,
Shasta County, CAL; Clackamas river,
Oregon The following is list of the
species artifcially Matched in the United
States since the art was first practiced
here: Brook trout white-fish, lake trout,
pike, perch, Atlantic salmon, shad, land
locked salmon, California salmon, striped
bass, sea bass, grayling, sturgeon, smeIt
herring, alewife, OYSTER cod, paddock,
carp, Spanish mackerel, moon-fsh, gold
fish, tench, soft-shelled clam and lobster.
But perhaps the most interesting feature
of the work is the method employed in
Matching the eggs of fish artiicially. We
will take the shad as an example. AS
soon as the shad are taken in the nets or
seines those which are ripe or soft are Sc
lected. If ripe the eggs flow freely
from the female shad when the belly of
the fish is pressed gently; if unripe the
eggs will not flow at all; if the eggs are
only nearly ripe they will come forth with
difficulty, in masses; such fish are not
taken. A short time before the shad
spawns, clear eggs of large size will be
found in the roe, while the rest are still
hard; these become more and more numer-

Culinary Temperance.

The kitchen is often the stronghold
of the drink habit in this country, from
the fact that great many of our in
herited and imported recipes give
fiavoiingS of wine or brandy, to say
nothing of rum, gin or whisky. These
are often carelessly copied, even by
our religious papers, and as carelessly
practiced by religious people. If they
have their attention called to the mat
ter, they may say that the heat drives
away the alcohol, and nothing but the
taste remains, never seeming to think
of the absurdity of supposing we could
taste the stuff if it was not there. But
this taste itself is the very thing to be
feared-whether it creates in children
a familiarity with the liquors used, and
thus makes them in after years a prey
to the drink habit, or whether it re-
awakens in the reformed man the ap-
petite which has done him SO much
mischief, and which has been with so
much difficulty subdued.-JuEiG COL

GUS; after time they separate and fall
apart, liquid stream of eggs flowing
from the fish with the slightest pressure.
The melter, or male shad, is rather smaller
than the female, the sex being known by
the flow of milt from the fish; a small
quantity of milt will impregnate large
number of eggs; about one male in good
condition to two or three females.
The spawner, or female shad, is easily
known by its size and full appearance.
When all the spawn is taken it will be
shown by the blood appearing among the
eggs. A male shad is then taken, two or
three jets of milk are forced upon the eggs
while the pan is swayed gently to and fro.
A little water is added from time to time
until the eggs rise, which will be, usually,
in the course of half an hour After i'm
pregnation the eggs will be found to have
increased in size, and when they rise they
can either be put on trays covered with
cotton cloth or kept in the pan, In the lat
ter case the water should be changed every
hour. The bad eggs will float on top and
are of whitish color, being called water
blown; good eggs will be clear and like
crystal in appearance. The eggs having
been fortified, the most difficult portion of
the task remains, viz: the care of the eggs
until they are hatched and the care of the
young fry until they are old enough to care
for themselves.
The apparatus employed for this work
varies in principle 10 correspond to the
physical peculiarities of the eggs.
As an example we, will consider the
process of Matching shad eggs. whose
specific gravity is slightly greater than
that of water. These eggs are placed to-
gether in large quantities, and to prevent
their settling upon the bottom of the re-
ceptacle, it is necessary to introduce a
gentle current from below. Several re-
cepttcles were made for the Matching of
shad eggs, with only partially successful
results, but finally the device now most in
favor was perfected.

onel Macdonald, which are recognized

AGAINST IHE SALOON.
The Great Gain to the Temperance
Movement in This Country

The Great Gain to the temperance
Movement in This Country.
The movement against the saloon
gathers strength as it proceeds
Everywhere throughout the Union
North, East, West and South-the
people are rising in rebellion against
the rule of rum. Restrictive legisla-
ton in various forms, and constitu-
ti0nal prohibition are the principal
lines along which the warfare pro-
ceeds. During the present season, the
legislatures Of no less than twenty
one States have been called upon to-
consider the drink evil and take action
toward its suppression. In nearly
every one of these States, something
has been done 10 check the growth of
the saloon and curtail its power.
High-license laws, local option and
prohibitory amendments are the or
der of the day. Never before in the
history of the Temperance cause
has the feeling against the liquor traffic
been so deep, so widespread, so ear
nest, so determined as now. That,
most powerful of agencies, the public
press, has at last arrayed itself against
the traffic; many of the leading secu-
lar journals of the country have adopt
ed tone of bitter hostility to the grog-
shop, and are attacking it daily with
all the force and ability they have at
command. No stronger or more ef-
fective arguments against the saloon
can be found anyw here than those put
forward in the editorial columns of
some of the New York dailies. The
gain for Temperance in this direction
has been of the most significant and
promising character. Public men, too,
men OF affairs, judges, statesmen,
political leaders, who have hitherto
held themselves aloof from the dis
cussion of Temperance, are now taking
sides in the conflict, and many of
the ablest and best of them have
openly declared against 1.-THE business
of manufacturing drunkards." Tho
lines are being more and more sharply
drawn every day between the adherents
of the rum-shop and the friends of
peace, order and sobriety. The hour
is at hand when every man must make
decision in this matter. And when
it comes to this issue everywhere we
can not doubt where the majority will
stand. The sentiment of the country.
is overwhelming against a continuance
of saloon domination. There can be-
no installing this fact. The present.
movement is not dependent upon a
wave of popular excitement; it is mott
born of passing enthusiasm. 1t is
the outcome of years of wrong and SUI
fering induced by the cursed drink
traffic; it is revolt of the people
against a power whose reign of out
rage, vice and crime has become too
terrible to be longer endured. N T..

For he's just as much Of a boy as the rest;
And, to tell the truth, between you and me,
It's silly old way for a boy to be dressed.
Why can't he have trousers right from the
